Mental Health and Motherhood with Jennifer Becker, LSW

Welcome back, friends!! Today, I am sharing my interview with Jennifer Becker, who is not only one of my favorite people in the world, but who also happens to be my amazing, intelligent and insightful sister-in-law! Jenn and I have been through 20 years of ups, downs and in-betweens together, and I am so grateful that she's a part of my life.

Jenn is a Licensed Social Worker who has specialized in mental health for much of her career. We discuss how mental health affects not only us, but our children, partners and basically all the relationships in our lives. We talk about how important it is to be pro-active with your own mental health, and also how important it is to empower and support others' on their mental health journeys, as well. Jenn also discuss how important it is to be vigilant about the mental health of our kids, including having age-appropriate conversations with our kids about mental health and encouraging them to make their health a priority, too.

Seeking mental health treatment and support, however you choose to do it, should never be a source of shame. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with mental heath issues, I hope you are encouraged by this episode to get the help you need and to reach out to friends and other loved ones for support. You are not alone and help is only a phone all away.
